"Hi! My name is Diane and I am a licensed teacher with a doctorate degree in education and 19 years of experience in teaching! My philosophy of teaching is that everyone can and should be given every opportunity to learn. I use a humanistic approach which encompasses the total development of each student. The use of multi-tiered, cooperative learning activities address students of all academic levels. Varied lesson plans focus on each of the seven learning styles giving each student the ability to thrive.
My teaching career has been geared toward the empowerment of elementary school children. I have a strong passion to educate young minds and help them blossom into well-rounded, responsible and successful individuals. Throughout the course of my career, though, I have had wonderful opportunities to teach diverse groups of students of all ages, including those with learning disabilities, those who performed at grade level and those who were gifted. As a result, I have become proficient at designing creative and stimulating lesson plans, which accommodate multiple intelligences, bring a hands-on approach to learning, and keep students interested and focused.
In the last 7 years, I have been teaching GED courses to help adult learners. I have seen over 100 students successfully pass the GED test after using my services and I hope to see many, many more. The feeling of setting that goal and then reaching it is amazing!
Here is what you can expect when using my tutoring services: a personal, tailor-made lesson base created just for you, a boost in self-confidence when you reach the goals you set forth, and instruction from a trained, experienced educator who knows how to get results. Here is what I expect from my students: a mutual respect between tutor and student, a willingness to learn and a desire to succeed. I offer both personal and online tutoring and daily and weekly tutoring sessions. I also will do half-hour, hour or 2 hours blocks. If you wish for a longer session, please contact me.
